Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need different tungsten for AC and DC welding?
No. ArcTime™ is designed to perform across both AC and DC applications, eliminating the need to switch electrodes.
How does this compare to thoriated tungsten?
ArcTime™ provides similar or better arc performance without the health risks associated with radioactive materials.
What materials can I weld with this tungsten?
It works well on aluminum, stainless steel, and a wide range of alloys.
Why does tungsten quality matter?
Higher-quality tungsten improves arc stability, reduces contamination, and leads to better overall weld quality.

Awesome tungsten! Our employers usually supply 2% thoriated but I buy this for myself because of it being non-carcinogenic and it’s turned out to be a much more stable arc, and very little tip erosion even while running 250amps on 1/8” tungsten.
